You Gotta Read This:

• Photos by Another Artist/Teacher Jill Arnold's Web Page.

  This is the first time I've seen Jill Arnold's work. But I like her way of setting it out! I especially like the three images on the bottom row. They lend themselves to visual impressions that might stimulate the imaginary. For example in the middle photo, the lines and shadow crossings made me think of intersectionality. The lovely colors and crisscrossing in the photo at left reminds me of the self gathering itself across fields and roads. And the stormy, brooding quality in the lower right corner, as darkness seems to set . . .

  What does Jill Arnold's work say to you?

• "The presence we leave behind . . . " by LaKisha Miller, Teidre Rankins, and LaNesha Brooks. Expressing alterity through art.

• The Human Pixel Who Wouldn't Transparency Now. backup

  "Ultimately, the site is based on the idea that all our cultural creations can be made transparent. When they are, we discover that they contain our own understanding -- and misunderstanding -- of our selves and society. By seeing these works clearly, we take a step closer to the classical and humanist vision of education as one in which we learn to know ourselves. When we accomplish this, we find that (clichéd as it may sound) the truth was inside us, waiting to be released."
  Ken Sanes

• Transition

  "People may not think of American blacks as culturally mixed, but cultural mixture is what forced African immigrants and their descendants to think of themselves as 'black' rather than Yoruba or Mandinka or half-German or one-quarter Cherokee."

  Kelefa Sanneh, "After the Beginning Again"

• jeanne's bicycle and Africa

  Wednesday morning, on the front page of the New York Times, jeanne's imaginary of the bicycle she wore on Tuesday began to take shape. Gee, maybe it's a sign!
